About this listen

The authors of the national best seller The Power of Nice once again tackle conventional wisdom with a provocative and counterintuitive book about the importance of sweating the small stuff in our lives and in our careers.

Our smallest actions and gestures often have outsized impact on our biggest goals, say Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval. Did you double-check that presentation one last time, or hold the elevator for a stranger? Going that extra inch, whether with a client, customer, family member, or friend, speaks volumes to others about our talent, personality, and motivations. After all, if we can't take care of the small details, how can we be counted on to deliver when it really matters?

In today's challenging times, bigger isn't always better. In fact, it's often the baby steps that put us on the path to delivering a true competitive advantage. The real secret to getting ahead in life and in our careers is to refocus our attention on the small details that, if disregarded, can sabotage a multimillion-dollar ad campaign or undermine your most important relationships. Kaplan Thaler and Koval show how to get more of what you want with surprisingly less than you'd imagine.

Written in the same entertaining, story-driven style that made The Power of Nice the go-to book for finishing first, The Power of Small demonstrates how all of us can harness the power of small to improve and reinvent our lives. It's the ultimate guide to shrinking your outlook to broaden your horizons.

Small things matter

Good book and reinforced the need to pay attention to details."Manners maketh the man", a small relatable saying from a movie.

One of best books I ever listened to or read

I have two companies and read many business books. This is right at the top. Will send to my children and grandchildren. I feel I do quite a bit of what she talked about but in made me focus even more. This should be an Amazon prime book

Timeless message

Although written more than a decade ago, this is still relevant. Great stories bring every support point to life. An easy listen.

Quick and informative

Some topics were redundant, could’ve been a smaller book. But nothing a skip button can’t improve. Took a lot of good quotes and excerpts for sharing with friends.
